NANLITE has expanded its FC series with the introduction of the FC-1200B and FC-1200C LED lights. Both models are rated at 1350W of power, marking a significant step up from the previous generation. The fixtures feature a Bowens mount, allowing creators to use a wide range of existing modifiers and accessories.
A key design change in the FC-1200 line is the integration of the power supply and control unit directly into the light head. This all‑in‑one approach eliminates external bricks and reduces cable clutter on set. The bi‑color FC-1200B and full‑color FC-1200C maintain the same power rating while offering different color‑control options for varied shooting needs.
The FC-1200B is priced at $1,290 and the FC-1200C at $1,490. Both were announced on September 3, 2026, and are now available for purchase. This release follows the FC-720 models, which debuted seven months earlier with a 750W rating, highlighting NANLITE’s rapid progression in high‑output LED technology.
For creators, the increased wattage translates to brighter output for large‑scale productions, outdoor shoots, or situations requiring strong key light without relying on multiple units. The built‑in power and control system simplifies setup, potentially lowering labor costs and speeding up turnaround times. Compatibility with the Bowens ecosystem means existing investments in softboxes, grids, and other modifiers remain usable, protecting prior gear expenditures.
Overall, the FC-1200B and FC-1200C address a growing demand among video professionals for powerful, portable lighting solutions that minimize gear complexity. By delivering 1350W in a compact, all‑in‑one form factor, NANLITE offers a tool that can help creators achieve professional results while managing workflow efficiency and budget considerations.
